SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule
text	type I transmembrane protein (TM1)
	localized along with the SSTR3 receptor to the primary cilia of the granule cells of the murine dentate gyrus, a center of adult neurogenesis
	NGFR and NTRK1 are localized in the mitochondrial compartment of undifferentiated human podocytes and in all tissues analyzed including rat central nervous system

basic FUNCTION	important role in the development and function of sensory neurons
	mediates neurotrophin-dependent apoptosis
	involved in light-mediated photoreceptor apoptosis in vivo
	is the signal transducing element for Myelin-associated glycoprotein
	initiates intracellular signaling leading either to cell survival or to apoptosis
	an essential role for p75(NTR)-related signalling in early embryonic morphogenesis
	role in activity-dependent synaptic plasticity
	receptor tyrosine kinase, class VI, regulating the myelination process in peripheral nervous system
	a negative growth regulator within the context of myelin inhibition 5
	may play a positive role in nerve regeneration
	involved in the control of neuronal survival versus death and axonal regeneration and growth cone collapse
	regulator of liver repair
	binds pro and mature neurotrophins and affects the growth, differentiation and death of the nervous system
	maintains the specificity of neural connectivity
	regulator of glucose uptake and insulin resistance
	unanticipated function of NGFR as a unique regulator of glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity
	transcriptional activation of NGFR is under circadian regulation in the nervous system and peripheral tissues, and plays an important role in the maintenance of clock and metabolic gene oscillation
	influences the proliferation, survival, and differentiation of neuronal precursors and its expression is induced in injured brain, where it regulates cell survival
	can modulate cell-fate decisions through its highly ramified signaling pathways

	interactions of RTN4R with its co-receptors LINGO1, NGFR and the myelin inhibitor RTN4 is facilitated by gangliosides
	is required for the signal transduction of PILRB, which interacted with NGFR upon ligand binding
	on oligodendroglial cells, LINGO1 interacts with NGFR to constitutively inhibit multiple aspects of oligodendrocyte differentiation
	RAB5A and RAB31 directly interact with NGFR primarily via helix 4 of the NGFR death domain
	NTRK1 and NGFR collaborate with each other at the plasma membrane to bind NGF
	NGFRAP1 interacts with the death domain of NGFR and mediates apoptosis in neural cells in response to nerve growth factor

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	mice with NGF receptor p75 mutation are viable and fertile display markedly decreased sensory innervation, loss of heat sensitivity associated with ulcers in the distal extremities
	light-induced photoreceptor apoptosis in p75NTR knockout mice is significantly reduced
